Hey guys! Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up, but I kind of refund my inspiration for this story and here it is! There will probably be about three or four more and then that'll be it. Thanks for reading & reviewing! :)

"And there's no remedy for memory. Your face is like a melody, it won't leave my head. Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine. But I wish I was dead. Everytime I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise. No one compares to you."~Dark Paradise-Lana Del Ray

Stefan

I had almost fallen asleep on the couch downstairs when I heard the front door open. I slowly stood up and finished the rest of the glass of bourbon beside me, knowing that it had to be Klaus.

We ended up coming into the kitchen at the same time. I pretended to be incredibly interested in my now empty glass and I avoided his eyes. But I could feel him watching me.

"You look rough." He said after about a minute.

"Thanks." I said flatly, still looking down.

"Rebekah called me." He didn't say anything else, like he was expecting me to say something, but I didn't. "I hear that she refreshed your memory of the Roaring Twenties. Finally." I looked up at him now.

"What does it matter Klaus? It's not like you care about me or anything." I walked away from the kitchen and him a few feet. This really wasn't a conversation I wanted to have right now.

"I know you're not that stupid Stefan."

I looked back at him. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Klaus clenched his teeth and stepped forward. "If I didn't care about you Stefan than I would have never compelled you. I would have brought you with me and not cared when Mikael killed you." And within a second Klaus was right beside me and he punched the wall behind me. "Dammit Stefan." He muttered and paced back a few feet.

I waited a few seconds before walking to him and offering him the bottle of whiskey I'd taken from the kitchen. "I'm sorry." I said quietly. "I believe you."

Klaus took the bottle. "Come with me Stefan."

"Where?"

"Just come on."

After we'd been driving for what felt like forever Klaus was pulling into the driveway of a large, worn-down but still somewhat nice looking house. He opened the car door and stepped out and I did the same. "What the hell is this?" I looked to Klaus and he put his finger over his lips and then pointed to the right. I looked past him and saw Damon's car. "Damon?" Klaus didn't say anything but he started walking toward the house and I followed him.

And as soon as he opened the door my question was answered. Damon and Elena were standing right in front of me. Elena was wide-eyed and looking back and forth between the two of us. Damon was smirking, but I could see there was a concerned look in his eyes.

"Ah. Elena." Klaus half-smiled. "I see you've taken it upon yourself to bring the riffraff into my house."

I looked at him. "Your house?"

"Later Stefan."

Damon stepped forward. "Elena didn't tell me it was your house until we were almost here, sorry I don't have a housewarming gift."

"No problem mate. Being able to rip your heart out would more than suffice." Damon rolled his eyes.

I focused on Elena. "Why didn't you call me?"

"I did. You weren't answering your phone."

My hands felt for my phone in my pockets and felt nothing. I'd left it back at the house. "Right. Sorry."

Klaus crossed his arms. "Well sorry to ruin your little field trip, but this is my house, so."

Damon smirked. "Yeah I'd hate to ruin your date."

I rolled my eyes.

Damon patted my shoulder as he walked past me. "Bye Stef."

Elena lightly touched my arm. "Bye Stefan."

"I'll call you later."

She nodded. "Ok."

Klaus and I remained silent until they got into Damon's car and started to drive away.

"So why did you bring me here Klaus?"

He held the door open. "After you Stefan."

I walked inside and took in the rest of the house. Noticing small details that showed that someone had been here earlier, such as the empty glasses. This is where he'd been with Elena the whole time.

"I spoke to my mother here earlier today."

"What?" I turned to look at him.

"My mother. The Original witch."

"Yeah, I remember you telling me about that now."

"I told you basically everything Stefan."

"I know. We both did." I could tell that he was kind of stalling. "What did she tell you?"

"Well that's a long story. But I know how to make my hybrids now. I just have to do the opposite of what she said to do."

"So how do you make them?"

Klaus bit his lip and I had to make myself stay focused on his eyes. "I need to take some of Elena's blood each time for my hybrids."

This didn't really surprise me. "Does she know?"

"Yes."

"Than that means everyone else probably knows too. They won't take it well."

"I think they should just be grateful that I don't have to kill her."

I stepped back outside. "That's never happening."

Klaus followed me. "Oh don't be so overprotective Stefan. You're going to make me jealous." He grinned.

"I'm being serious. Bonnie will want to retaliate. And she's not really your biggest fan."

Klaus came closer to me. "You mean you're finally admitting that you're genuinely concerned for my well-being? Now this is progress."

I had to stop myself from smiling. "Shut up." I walked back over to the car. "Can we go now?"

He was already standing by the driver's side. "Sure."

Klaus had been fairly quiet on the way back, and we had mainly just listened to music, but I could tell he was done with that as soon as we got out of the car.

"Are you really going to call Elena?" He sighed.

I was already at the front door. "Well you spent half of the day with her in your creepy house, but I can't call her?"

"Well I know it's going to lead to something that will annoy me."

I opened the door. "Oh yeah, that really discourages me from doing it."

I came in and saw Rebekah lounging on the couch in the living room watching something on the TV. She jumped up as soon as she saw me though. And I was grateful, because her being here would stop Klaus' questioning for now at least.

She rolled her eyes at both of us. "You two should really take your lovers spats somewhere else next time." She looked at the wall. "Because this is just annoying."

Klaus chuckled a little. "Just wait until Stefan really gives in to how he feels about me." He glanced over at me.

"Ew!" Rebekah hit his chest. "Let's just hope that never happens."

"Again." Klaus smirked.

"Dear God." Rebekah mumbled and walked away to the kitchen.

I nodded. "And I'm leaving on that note." I started up the stairs. Halfway up I looked back to Klaus. "And don't you dare follow me."

He just laughed. And I ignored the way his laugh made me instantly want to laugh too.

Damon

We'd been back at the boarding house for almost twenty minutes and Elena had been mainly silent. She was just sitting on the couch with a drink and looking into the fire.

I left the room for a few minutes and when I came back she instantly looked up. "Damon," She started, "Do you seriously think there's something going on between Stefan and…Klaus?"

I almost choked on my own drink. "You mean, do I think that my little brothers gay for Klaus? God I hope not."

"It's just, I mean, you've seen them together." Elena's cheeks flushed. "I don't even know why I'm talking to you about this." She shook her head. "I'm just gonna go to bed. I think I'll just sleep here tonight if that's ok."

"Yeah, of course." I wanted to go over to her, but I knew that I shouldn't. "Goodnight Elena."

She feigned a smile. "Goodnight Damon."

As soon as she was out of sight I pulled out my phone. "Hey witchy. We have a new situation with Klaus, and I know how you can fix it."

What's going to happen now that everyone knows Klaus' plan? And when Stefan has to confront his feelings and choose a side? And Bonnie and Damon working together is always interesting of course. Haha. A lot of planning/cathartic feelings exposed in the next chapter ;) Thanks for reading, and reviews would be greatly appreciated! :)
